- Tracey Kelly received a curfew, supervision and a driving ban.

## Summary

Council worker Frank Cochrane suffered a severe heel fracture after Tracey Kelly drove away with him on her car bonnet during a dispute over traffic cones in Glasgow. The incident left the 62-year-old unable to do heavy labour alone and, he says, effectively forced him into semi-retirement.

Cochrane needed titanium screws, several operations and months of bed rest, and says he lost almost £40,000 in wages. Kelly, who admitted assault causing severe injury, impairment and danger of life, was given a 12-month electronically monitored curfew, supervision for 12 months and a 27-month driving ban; her curfew becomes weekends only for its final three months.
